Introduction
... where you set the trends.
Rate your favorite jewelry pieces and purchase at a discount from the top online retailers.
The format of is simple. The homepage features a random product from its jewelry collection on each page view. This helps users familiarize themselves with all our products, and to get votes for our entire collection. Underneath this spotlight jewelry item is a quick overview of the current top-rated, bottom-rated, most-rated and newest product. Clicking any of these will take you to a product list, appropriately sorted.
If you are looking for a specific type of product, you can use the filters to help you find it. You can, for example, show only earrings, or necklaces, or rings; or only silver products; or jewelry for men.
The individual item pages how a large photo of the item, the merchant offering it, the retail and sale prices if applicable, and a brief description of the product. The current rating is front and center, so you can quickly see what other people think of the jewelry. You can also add your opinion.
That's how not only lets you get style tips, but also allows you to set the trends.
How it works
At IceVote.com, you get to be the fashion critic. Our editors post jewelry pieces from various online merchants, give a short blurb about the item, and then let you have your say. Praise it, or trash; give us your honest opinion.
What's the point?
Jewelry merchants don't always promote the hottest products. They promote what they want to sell. It might be a dud product they need to liquidate, or a high-margin product that will pad their bottom line. Our bottom line is presenting what we think are hot products, then letting you be the final judge.

- I think the text on this page is great. It really explains why the site exists and how it works and why someone would want to participate. What I think is missing is visuals (still or video) and testimonials. Could you get "keith" to come here and make an InfluenceUs comment? TedErnst (talk) 22:22, 19 February 2008 (PST)

Ice keith's Comments on IceVote.com
- Ice keith (delighted) : Hey folks. Keith here. I won't comment on my reference under "Notable Users", because frankly that would ruin the fun. Jewelry is an ageless art that I find truly special. It's something that can express identity, represent a bond, or be pure fun. No gift can bring joy as jewelry can. Nor does anything showcase the partnership of human and nature quite like jewelry. Looking at these sparkling jewels, we almost forget that gemstones were created in depths of the earth millions of years ago, and will likely last for millions longer. Nothing spells romance and infinity the same way. But jewelry can be sometimes daunting, especially for men buying gifts. No-one wants jewelry that will go out of style, or bland pieces similar to what everybody else has. Merchants will push whatever makes them money. That's why I enjoy posting comments on IceVote.com. The site allows you to sift through marketing propaganda to find the true jewels, and at the same time, save dollars by buying online. It's a great little community that's usually one step ahead of the trends. 11:24, 8 March 2008 (PST)
